About Certified Senior Advisors - Zoltan Gaspar (CSA), Certified Senior Advisor

About Certified Senior Advisors CSA educates professionals to work more effectively with their senior clients. We believe that the right kind of planning, recommendations and referrals can make aging a state to be savored instead of a fate to be feared. For those who work with seniors, that means understanding the key health, social and financial factors that are important to seniors-and how these factors work together. CSAs are able to integrate this into their professional practices, no matter what field they're in. They've learned how incredibly gratifying it is to help seniors achieve their goals, and the seniors they've worked with have learned how important it is to work with someone who truly understands their age-related circumstances.
